US medium confirms arrest of Fulani militia leader behind Christian genocide in Nigeria

Mahmoud Adam, a suspected terrorist connected to the massacre of Christians in Nigeria, particularly in the Middle Belt region, has reportedly been apprehended. The confirmation of his arrest was published by the Daily Caller, a U.S.-based news outlet, in a report released on Friday. The news source stated that Adam, who hails from Plateau State, was believed to be the covert leader of the Fulani Ethnic Militia, also known as FEM.

A retired U.S. intelligence official, well-versed in Islamist terrorism, who spoke to the Daily Caller, corroborated the arrest of the alleged terrorist.

The Daily Caller cited photos provided by an anonymous whistleblower, which allegedly demonstrated that the terrorist had "engaged in meetings with and received high-value gifts from Nigerian military officials." Additionally, the report alleged that a current Nigerian senator had intervened to secure Adam's early release from custody.

The operation that resulted in Adam's arrest took place on September 12 at his residence in Plateau State, where he had been serving as a prominent leader within the Fulani community.
